The videocast of today’s IACC meeting has gone live, and I’m pretty sure I recognize Ari Ne’eman of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) at the table.
Stephen Shore is already serving on the IACC, so this brings to (at least) two autistic adults on the IACC. I saw “at least” because I don’t know who else new may have been added to the IACC.

We pay for the CDC. It isn’t there to support Mr. Kennedy’s agenda. It’s there to generate good information that Mr. Kennedy can use or, sadly, not use. He can’t ask them to sign off on dangerous vaccine policy and then cry “restore trust” to excuse firing the trusted experts who are, in his own […]
